How the hell am I supposed to do that? Seriously?

Oh, and do you think they could re-finish them in the same finish that the E46 19s come in, which is like a metal polish finish, not chrome with black inner spokes and barrel. Those wheels look so bad ***.

Yeah I figured that, but then leave my car there as is until they're done with the wheels?

$45 per wheel

The guy sounded a lil flamboyant, but definitely knew what he was talking about. and he sounded like he loved what he does and he was proud of it. I didnt go with him cuz I had to get some other work done, but for $45 a wheel it cant hurt. other members have gotten wheels done there too and said the work was good and fast.
does he remove them too?

powdercoating requires sandblasting. So yes, they will strip the coat first.
